Well no, I'm relying on GitLab magic here - my script attached for
reference.
But I think I see what's going on: When the script migrated issue #34,
the referenced issues were not there yet and apparently GitLab does
some evaluation when the text is posted. If I migrate the issue now
(see https://gitlab.com/lilypond-issues/lilypond/issues/5742), the
links work - also note how "#25" in the first comment comes live.
(I manually edited two comments in the original #34, so these do work
now. The reference to "Issue 1302" is still broken though as I didn't
touch that comment.)

Unfortunately this means that my strategy to create the issues "in
order" doesn't work because comments can reference later issues that
were created in the mean-time. So instead I'll try to first create all
issues and then migrate all comments. That doesn't work for later edits
of the issue description, but that should be the minority.
I'll wait a few days for other problems before starting another
attempt.

Thanks
Jonas
